Each April Thais celebrate their "Thai New Year" with a great water fight n the streets. Peple thrw water at everyne passing by and even blck the rad s they can enter buses and "paint the faces" f all the passengers. But there are a few peple wh dn’t wish t participate in the fun. When I first experienced this celebratin， I was ne f them.
The first time ur bus was stpped， 4 peple cming int the bus intended t paint everyne’s face. I slwly shk my head t say "N， thank yu"， but a man came frm behind me and quickly painted my face. Then the ther three felt inspired and added a little mre "paint" t my face. I didn’t actively stp them fr fear that if I did， they wuld becme mre aggressive and thrw even mre water at me and pssibly my backpack， which wuld damage whatever was inside.
Even thugh it happened nly nce， emtinally it was very frightening because I felt s pwerless. The experience caused me t think a lt abut respect and mral autnmy r individual judgment vs "permissin" frm the authrities. On this day， peple f Thailand， including the plice， give "permissin" fr these activities. S what abut respect fr the individual？ If smene des nt want t be painted， is it OK t d it anyhw because the majrity is having a gd time and sincerely believes it is harmless fun， r because the plice allw it？
In my pinin， if smene des nt want t have smething dne t them， then yu’re suppsed t respect their decisin. Yu can’t rely n the authrities r sme grup t tell yu if smething is right r wrng r if yu shuld r shuldn’t d smething. I believe this is a much healthier way f living with ne anther in this wrld.

[艺术文化/2024河南焦作期中]In 1879， an 8-year-ld girl made a discvery that wuld rck ur understanding f human histry. On the walls f Altamira cave in nrthern Spain， she sptted amazing drawings f bisn， painted in vivid red and black. Mre striking even than the images was their age： They were made thusands f years ag by mdern humans’ suppsedly primitive ancestrs. Tday， nearly 400 caves acrss Eurpe have been fund decrated with hand stencils（用模板印的文字或图案）， mysterius symbls and beautiful images f animals created by these skillful artists.
The discveries led t the view that artistic talent arse after mdern humans arrived in the regin sme 40，000 years ag， as part f a "cultural explsin" reflecting a flwering f the human mind. But mre recent evidence has blwn this idea ut f the water. Fr a start， mdern humans might nt have been the first artists in Eurpe. What’s mre， a cllectin f cave paintings emerging in Indnesia has dismissed the idea that Eurpe was the centre f creativity.
Lcal peple have lng knwn that the caves f the island f Sulawesi， Indnesia， cntain many painted images. Mdern humans are thught t have reached the regin sme 65，000 years ag， but nbdy imagined the art culd be very ld because ancient paintings seem unlikely t survive in the envirnment f high temperatures. A team f researchers led by Maxime Aubert， nw at Griffith University in Australia，upended this idea using a technique that is shifting ur understanding f cave art. Using this technique in seven caves， they fund a hand stencil was at least 39，900 years ld， making it the ldest knwn hand stencil at that time.
This pened a fldgate t new discveries in Indnesia. These included a hunting scene created at least 43，900 years ag， and by far the ldest descriptive artwrk. "When we fund that image， we were abslutely delighted， but when it turned ut t be that ld， we were almst jumping with jy，" says Adam Brumm， als at Griffith University.
印度尼西亚苏拉威西岛洞穴壁画的发现挑战了欧洲是艺术创作中心的观点，揭示了人类艺术才能的历史更为悠久。
【词语积累】 suppsedly adv.据信，据传，据说 dismiss v.去除，消除，摒除（思想、感情等）；驳回，不受理 f the water 彻底摧毁……，毁灭……
1. What did the girl find in the cave？
A. Wild animals.
B. Ancient images.
C. Painting techniques.
D. Recrding artists.
解析 B 细节理解题。由第一段中的"she sptted amazing drawings f images was their age： They were made thusands f years ag"可知，B项正确。
2. What was a misunderstanding remved by the mre recent evidence？
A. Artistic talent can be traced back t Eurpe.
B. Artistic talent reflected the flwering f human minds.
C. Mdern humans led t artistic talent’s rise in Indnesia.
D. Mdern humans might nt have been real artists.
解析 A 推理判断题。由题干中的"remved by the mre recent evidence"可以将线索信息定位到第二段中的"mre recent evidence has blwn this idea ut f the water"。由语境可知，被证据推翻的"idea"指的是上文中提到的"artistic talent arse after mdern humans arrived in the regin sme 40，000 years ag"，故A项正确。
3. What des the underlined wrd "upended" in paragraph 3 mean？
A. Prved.B. Strengthened.
C. Overturned.D. Overemphasized.
解析 C 词义猜测题。分析语境可知，画线词后面的宾语this idea指的是上文中的"古画好像不可能在高温环境中被保存下来，所以这项艺术不会很古老"。由下文中的"they fund a hand stencil was at least 39，900 years ld"可知，研究人员利用技术手段推翻了之前人们认为洞穴里的艺术不可能很古老的说法，故C项与画线词在意义上最为接近。
4. What des the last paragraph mainly talk abut？
A. The amazing discveries.
B. The researchers’ expectatins.
C. The benefits f the technique.
D. The descriptin f the cave art.
解析 A 段落大意题。由最后一段中的"This pened a fldgate t new discveries in Indnesia"和Adam Brumm的话"When we fund that were almst jumping with jy"可以看出，本段主要讲了研究人员在印度尼西亚的惊人发现，故A项正确。

2.B "The first birthday cakes were nthing f what they are tday..."与B项之间为递进关系。
3.E 由空前的"S they baked mn-shaped cakes t ffer up t the mn"可知，本空填E项。

5.F 空前的"On the mrning f a child’s up t the child’s age plus ne"与F项吻合。
